If Cotto fights Canelo instead of GGG, its understandable, but ****ing Andy Lee or Kirkland? Duck...
I wouldn't call Kirkland a duck. He isn't as feared as he was back when he was undefeated, but he is still a very dangerous fighter. I am one of those who adamantly believe that Cotto is NOT a 160 fighter. I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
"Cotto is THE 160 champion, but he is not a 160 fighter."
I'm not saying he shouldn't take on 160 fighters, but he just isn't a 160 fighter. He's tiny compared to a regular middleweight. Holding that belt, however, makes him a legitimate target to be called out by any and all middleweights.
Wait, so they want him to have a soft touch to stay active for Canelo in May, but now they're looking at James Kirkland for a possible PPV fight?
Wait....what?
They better keep Cotto away from Kirkland. Cotto won't make it out of that fight standing upright.
I can't see Andy Lee being that difficulty a night out for Cotto. Stick with Lee.
Kirkland needs a fight.
1 fight in 2009.
0 in 2010.
6 in 2011. Wowzers.
1 in 2012.
1 in 2013.
0 in 2014 so far.
Very unfortunate for one of America's most exciting fighters. But between stints in prison to leaving Golden Boy for 50 Cent, he's done it to himself.
Absolutely true!!!
I already told you guys, that Cotto will be fighting Lee for rhe vacant WBC JMW belt!
:lol1: What a shit fight!! All the shit you Cotto huggers defend, just contradicts it with fighting Lee.
Lee is not that good. His balance is terrible and all he has going for him is that he was Emanuelle's fighter. Kirkland is a beast and you never know what you are going to get with him.
This is better than Canelo vs Clottey
No. I think both would backfire. He loses both those fights. But he may get a Gift vs Lee. Lee was once trained by one of the best. He doesn't see the final bell if he fights Kirkland.
Lee doesn't beat him if he doesn't stop him. Cotto would score pretty easily against Lee as Lee's defence is really weak. But Lee could definitely drop him.
am I the only one who thinks that both fights can backfire?

Lee a risk at 160, not so much at 154... cotto beats both.
Kirkland a risk and either weight... and the longer it goes on... the worse it gets
Would pay for that... but find it hilarious
If Cotto fights Kirkland then I can forgive Cotto for not fighting Golovkin. Kirkland seems more dangerous on paper but in reality Cotto can demolish him. Andy Lee on the other hand is taller, longer and has a sneaky punch that can come out of nowhere with plenty of leverage to seriously hurt Cotto.

Lee has a puncher's chance but he's looked pretty terrible since Manny Steward died. With Kirkland you never know what might happen.
I still think Cotto is too small at 160. A fight with Kirkland can end up costing him. But f**** it if he wants it, Kirkland would jump at an opportunity to fight the 3rd biggest draw in boxing.
